    What a beautiful story. Thanks for posting.
    I was there to 10 years ago. I also survived. This because I had a feeling that something wasn't right. I was sort of hanging in the audience. My feet couldn't touch the ground. After a while I decided that I had to get out of the pit. And I succeeded. I was so lucky.. I'm still thankfull for that but very sad for my fellow jammers that didn't make it.

    Thank You for sharing this. I just read it aloud to my 10 year old son. He and I both cried, with smiles on our faces. The emotion of Happy and Sad is such an amazing feeling.

    Wow, I dnt have the words.....but for all effected by rockslide, Ed does.....

    Like an angel fly over your house
    Like an angel pass out wishes
    Like an angel I will move the arrow
    Like an angel I live alone
    I'm not livin' what was promised
    I am close but can't enjoy
    Oh I'm not dyin'
    Oh I'm so tortured 'cause I see all
    Tortured and all I cannot do
    Tortured all I should have done
    Tortured while I occupied a man
    I'm not livin' what was promised
    I am far from glorified
    Oh I'm not dyin'
    Oh I'm not alone
    Mind is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
    Time is short I have an appointment at noon at noon in Hell
    Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide alone at night
    Oh please please think of me 'cause I'm I'm by your side
    I'm by your side I'm by your side oh
    I'm I'm right in front of you I'm by your side

    An amazing first post! Such a touching personal story! This is the kind of post that makes this board great. Thanks for sharing this with us! Bless you, your wife and your child!

    I would much rather read a thousand posts like this one than waste my time on all the all the stupid bickering and name calling that goes on in other threads.

    This is why we should all try to be heroes to each other everyday in any little way we can. We can all make a big difference.
